Budgie 10.10.3 is out today as the newest point release to this open-source desktop.

Budgie 10.10.3 brings a "Favorites" area to the Budgie Menu. The most notable change this release is the ability to finally add an application to favorites in the Budgie Menu.

Budgie 10.10.3 also improves its Labwc bridge as the interface between Budgie and the Labwc Wayland compositor recommended for pairing with Budgie 10.10. The Labwc bridge has keybinding improvements, improved multimedia/launcher key handling, and reliability improvements.
